			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">The other night I was lying in bed reading an article that blew me away&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">It&#8217;s called &#8220;Prime Mortgage Borrowers: Then vs. Now.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">It was comparing the prime borrower in 2007 to the prime borrower RIGHT NOW.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Check out how ridiculously easy it was to qualify for prime only a few years ago&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><strong>In 2007 Requirements for a &#8220;PRIME MORTGAGE LOAN&#8221; to buy a house were:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Loan Values up to 125% of the property value</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Meaning you could borrow $200,000 on a house only worth $175,000</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Debt to Income ratios of up to 45% of incomee</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Minimum FICO Score of 620</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">e1 Past W-2</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">2 months of fallback reserves</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Employment corroborated one month out prior to closing</span> </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><strong>Fast forward to the requirements to buy a house TODAY:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Loan Values max out at 80% of house value</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">*Which means buyers have to put down at least 20%*</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Debt to Income levels are lower at 33%</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Minimum FICO is 680 to 720</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">2 YEARS of W-2s must be provided</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">12 months of fallback reserves must be available</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Re-verification of employment within 10 days of closing is required</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">A foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu must be at least seven years old</span> </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">So what does this mean for us investors exactly?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Well according to watchdog credit rating agency DBRS&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">&#8220;Based  on the minimum FICO score, maximum loan-to-value (LTV), and the  requirement that a foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu be at least  seven years old, it is likely that most of the U.S. population will not  be able to qualify for a mortgage any time soon,&#8221; DBRS says.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">&#8220;Consequently,  DBRS expects the housing recovery to continue to lag for many years to  come unless there is a loosening of underwriting criteria by the major  lenders,&#8221; the DBRS concluded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">This <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>changes the game for investors, big time</strong></em></span>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">If  you&#8217;ve been following the free material I&#8217;ve been sending you about how  to profit from recent housing trends with INSTANT CASH INFUSION, you  realize this information from DBRS mightily supports the investing  strategy Instant Cash Infusion is built on, and will allow investors  like you to thrive for the next 2-5 years&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">But  only if you know how to sidestep the new bottlenecks of banking.  Without available credit, we must invest in strategies that do not  require bank loans for ourselves or our buyers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">So  I am hosting a webinar to show you EXACTLY how to thrive in today&#8217;s  market &#8211; that will instantly put $500 &#8211; $20,000 in your pocket in as  little as 16 days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><a href="http://instantcashinfusion.com/" target="_blank">Click here and register now</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">On the &#8220;No Banks Needed&#8221; Tell All presentation I&#8217;ll be revealing to you&#8230;</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">4 simple, fast, safe and easy ways for you to make money that don&#8217;t require any banks whatsoever</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">How my students and I have been perfected these strategies since 2004</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Why  since late 2011 and now into 2012, these investing techniques are even  better poised for you and I to prosper from because of the current  shifts in the financial markets</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">How  you can profit from every type of property, right now. Houses with  equity, houses with no equity and no default (which are most common) and  overleveraged houses in foreclosure (short sales)</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">These  leads are everywhere and require little to no marketing costs on your  part to obtain. As I said earlier they are the most common lead type I  get into my business. In fact, in the past, I used to throw these away.  Not anymore</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">You  get paid within 60 days. Often in as little as 16 days. No waiting for 7  months to get a short sale approved and flipped or a house rehabbed and  sold</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">You pocket between $500 to $20,000 without needing a loan for any of it</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">The  critical set of forms you must use to execute all these techniques for  faster payouts How buyers will fight over these properties you will  control because they don&#8217;t have to qualify for bank loans. Not to  mention the 80 &#8211; 100 million hungry buyers who cannot qualify for a bank  loan. I&#8217;ll show you how to flip them over to the buyer for a very  handsome fee</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">One  technique with three ways to make you money. You can make some cash now  (between $500 to $20,000), cash flow each month (between $100 to $1,000)  and then cash out down the road (between $7,000 and $40,000) without  ever owning the home</span> </li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Instant  Cash Infusion is the quickest, easiest way to make money in real estate  with no money, bad credit, and no loans for you or your buyers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">And isn&#8217;t that what you&#8217;re really looking for?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Listen,  I care a lot about you and your future. This is stuff you need to know  to be successful. If you let this kind of information go unnoticed, your  real estate investing business will never get off the ground or you&#8217;ll  waste hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars doing the wrong things.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Get on the webinar to learn how to fix your cash flow challenges now, with a quick $500-$20,000 in as little as 16 days.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2012 is  going to be HUGE.</p>
<p>Up to 9 million homes may enter foreclosure in 2012 period,<br />
 versus one million in a typical year.</p>
<p>This will send shock-waves through the stock markets and world economy.<br />
 It  may well be the &#8220;dark ages&#8221; for homeowners and lenders alike&#8230;and the  wave of mortgage re-sets will continue in a relentless onslaught&#8230;with  no mercy!</p>
<p>This can equate to 500 billion in lender losses&#8230;</p>
<p>Check out this chart from a huge Euro Bank that shows when<br />
 the resets are happening for all the exotic mortgages:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.strategicrealestatecoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRECBlogChart1.png" /></p>
<p>As you can clearly see, we are entering the last (HUGE) wave<br />
 of foreclosures right now. All of these resets will cause<br />
 foreclosures in 2012.</p>
<p><a href="https://vssi.infusionsoft.com/go/fwsvs/srec/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to find out how to make money from this<br />
 situation</p>
<p>The ARM&#8217;s, Option ARM&#8217;s, Subprime and Alt-A will be the main<br />
 casualties &#8211; but will spread into the prime classes too!</p>
<p>The &#8220;Too Big to Fail&#8221; banks are under the gun for the shady<br />
 practice of &#8220;robo-signing,&#8221; which covers a wide range of<br />
 foreclosure paperwork abuses. This serious &#8220;mess&#8221; has<br />
 launched massive legal probes around the country, including<br />
 an investigation led by an angry hive of state attorney<br />
 generals which reportedly could end up costing banks upward<br />
 of $20 billion in settlements to ripped-off foreclosed<br />
 home-owners.</p>
<p>The big lenders will be in the &#8220;hurt locker&#8221; and desperately<br />
 seeking investors willing take distressed residential and commercial<br />
 properties off their books&#8230;as soon as possible!</p>
<p>As you know, 60% of all Option ARM and ALT-A mortgages that<br />
 were originated in the &#8220;Sand States&#8221; -California, Nevada,<br />
 Arizona, and Florida began to adjust in 2009. And I&#8217;ve got<br />
 news for you&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not over yet by a long shot&#8230;</p>
<p>In 2012, it&#8217;s going to go through the roof, impacting the<br />
 entire nation with pre-foreclosure and foreclosure activity.<br />
 Many of the major lenders will hold vast amounts of toxic<br />
 foreclosures&#8230;and are on the edge of extinction. They are<br />
 doing a wild spin into C-, D- and finally E- credit ratings<br />
 &#8211; and that&#8217;s end-game.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.strategicrealestatecoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRECBlogChart2.png" /></p>
<p>This massive shift has created a huge opportunity for real<br />
 estate investors in 2012. Now is the time to tap into this<br />
 massive opportunity.</p>
<p>Go <a href="https://vssi.infusionsoft.com/go/fwsvs/srec/" target="_blank">here</a> to get the rest of the story.</p>
<p>Do not ignore this opportunity or you may regret it for the<br />
 rest of your life.</p>
<p>Happy Holidays,<br />
 Josh</p>
<p>PS: If you&#8217;re like me, you&#8217;re busy with last minute Christmas shopping. Take a quick break and go <a href="https://vssi.infusionsoft.com/go/fwsvs/srec/" target="_blank">here</a> to watch a video that explains the entire situation. It&#8217;s a must see.</p>
